Eh...too bad. Would have been nice to have him on the Knicks.

ehh I would rather have Booker.

I wouldn't mind Booker either. He plays with such great intensity and physicality every time I watch the Wizards.

Like Booker for us as well --- wouldn't mind Seraphin either from Wiz.

Love Booker's style of play but NOT a particularly strong offensive player or threat.

We need an expert to answer these questions. Doesn't seem like they needed Wade and Bosh to opt out in order to sign someone to the MLE.

And more importantly, perhaps, it indicates that the Heat do not plan on having cap room -- or does it not indicate that?

Can't somebody correct me if I am wrong but if a team were to put in an offer for Parsons then the Rockets would have to put Bosh on the 3 day clock or risk losing Parsons for nothing. The Bosh decision will push the Lebron and Melo decision IMHO. So would a Parsons offer get this thing in motion?

ESPN learned that Josh McRoberts has verbally committed to sign with the Miami Heat

That sounds like the start of a BIG 3 reunion --- I'd expect this to be followed with another mid-tier type signing -- maybe Ariza or a PG.

The got no money other than the vet min unless Wade and Bosh take deep discounts, but hard to imagine Bosh taking a discount with that Rockets offer.

I'm thinking (hoping) all 3 (including Lebron) will take some type of discount to remain intact.

Hopefully Bron deal includes a 1 year opt out.

If Melo signs with Miami, will we be: "Hey, at least Chicago didn't get him?"

:lol:

Can Bosh even get $96 million over 4 years? I thought since he took a paycut with Miami he couldn't get as much as Melo as a free agent?

He's not the most skilled definitely but he's strong (albeit short for his position) and athletic and he's the type that wouldn't take any **** from anyone and would just bull his way in a crowd to get the ball and put it in the basket. It's also the reason some believe that he keeps getting injured lol.

This entire offseason has been one big mind f.

The big 3 opt out, Melos out there, and Riley moves in on Josh McRoberts?

McRoberts is no where near the talent level of Bosh -- and I dislike Bosh's game. He does a little more than being a stretch 4.

Nope, his max is limited due to CBA rules.

Right? Right? :lol:

My bro just gets his from watching sportscenter. I've been trying to kick coming to this forum for years now. I have a game plan with how I'm possibly going to succeed once the free agency is over.

so Ironic you'd say that since the person Karl Is bashing hasn't won anything in the NBA either. People that continue to defend Melo make me laugh.
